The outdoor edition is the first solution from the company to merge its award-winning battery charging capabilities with enhanced function through a supporting application. Available now in a new, eye-catching orange and gray color combination, the mophie juice pack outdoor edition’s 2,000 mAh battery capacity and sophisticated GPS app effectively transforms the iPhone 4 and 4S into a connected, dedicated GPS device.

“The juice pack outdoor edition eliminates the need for iPhone users to carry multiple devices to stay connected while also accessing super sophisticated GPS, mapping and tracking resources,” said mophie’s Ross Howe, vice president of marketing. “We are very excited to enter the app market and deliver a product that combines our best battery charging capabilities with a valuable and intuitive application that will keep iPhone users connected and powered up during any adventure.”

mophie has partnered with award-winning mobile GPS developer NeoTreks Inc., to create the highest quality user experience possible for the mophie outdoor app , a GPS application that includes access to more than five million square miles of outdoor recreation maps providing complete coverage of the continental United States and Hawaii.

“We are pleased to partner with mophie to be the first to provide a complete outdoor GPS solution for iPhone 4 users,” said Michael Bullock, president of NeoTreks. “The juice pack outdoor edition bundle provides more features and convenience than dedicated outdoor GPS units that can cost more than $500.”

This premium portion of the bundle will also be available for subscription purchase after the first year of service for $19.99 a year.

Double the Battery Power—Packing a 2,000 mAh capacity, the advanced battery technology delivers an incredible amount of “juice” in a small form factor, more than doubling battery life. Users will experience:

Up to 44 hours additional audio playback

The mophie juice pack outdoor edition is available now for purchase. Current juice pack users who want to take advantage of the mophie outdoor app but don’t want to purchase the outdoor juice pack plus case can download the app in the Apple App store for free and purchase a one year map subscription via their iTunes account for $29.99.
